And does anyone know if the downpipe sports cat from Aerie or Mach5 are validated for Europe regulations? Is the gpf a single piece with the downpipe? I know these questions might be technically wrong, I’ve still got a long way to go, bare with me 🙏🏻

Wouldn’t it (the i4) be a good starting point for the hybrid version?

Sure I’ll post some pics tomorrow or Monday, as soon as possible. The latch assembly was the culprit

Got it sorted. I had to disassemble the latch assembly and found that the nuts were totally loose. I recommend keeping a set of torx screwdrivers and some wrenches (6-10) in the car!

Hey I’m in a bit of an emergency here. I parked the car and opened the trunk, then went ahead and lowered the tailgate as always to close the trunk. Now no matter what I do, the tailgate will not fully trigger the latch and the car will display the “trunk open” light in the dashboard. I can’t...

Well I went ahead and changed the hotel in order to have my car parked in a garage for that “heavy rain”. I’m SO glad i did. It’s been a hell out there, nothing like a normal “heavy rain”. Again, if possible, please consider a different solution than a car cover.

I mostly agree with this but on a more positive side, I think that the chances of Hethel closing are lower. I am so very sorry for the layoffs but for what remains, and for what Geely has planned (going more luxury), Hethel might actually gain “value”… IF things are done correctly from now on...

Welcome to you and to your car, and thanks for sharing your experience about switching from a 911, it’s always interesting to get a different perspective! Have fun!

I agree with this. It’s just that being robbed of 40 bhp just because “EU”, really hurts. But yes, no one is forcing me to fill that gap and as I already said (agreed with actually), waiting for the warranty to expire is the way to go for me. I will try to preserve the engine and the car value...

Hey thanks for your feedback! I usually have my Emira in my garage, but here in the alps we’re having some extra days off in a place where nobody offers a garage of some sort for rent. The car is parked outside just for a couple of days, and I already feel guilty enough for that. It’s good to...

Hey sorry for the partially off topic question, but I am in the Alps atm and the weather forecast says heavy rain or maybe thunderstorms for tonight/tomorrow. I have my car parked outside, no way to get a cover here. Is it safe to keep it under such heavy rain just this time? I am worried about...

I represent, maybe, the best case of dummy user that never got his/her hands dirty on car mechanics and stuff. I would not be able to make sure something like the intercooler sensor wire is easy to remove, nor have I access to tools or anything needed. Also, I would need to fully trust the one...

Yet another fine reason for me to stay away from this kind of tuning, sadly. It’s super interesting, but voiding the warranty and having to replace stuff like that just isn’t within my budget (I suppose that 20-30k would be easy to reach). I might spend those money for racing a couple of times...

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for, thanks! The thought of replacing the engine, transmission or whatever is not my cup of tea, I’d be constantly worried about time, money etc. I’ll be better off having some mods to the exhaust system (which if I’m not mistaken should be less harmful...

Welcome and nice car! Now just be gentle with that right foot until you hit 1k miles and wait for the real grin. Easier said than done.
